Here's a few shots taken over the past few weeks in the Milwaukee harbor area.

These Scaup like to dive down the bottom for their food. I'm not sure exactly what their eating, but they love it!

I believe this is a first winter Common Goldeneye and a Greater Scaup.

Common Merganzer. PRetty heavy crop, but I like his 'hair-do'.

Haha John, love the first image. You're right that at least one of them seems to be having a big time.
Love the merganser hairdo too!

Nice set. I think your last Merganser is a Red-breasted.

Very nice set, the first merganser is female and I agree the second looks to be a Red-breasted Merganser.
